This time of year is teeming with festive content, from classics like Love Actually to original Christmas content on streaming land. But it’s also Oscar season, which means studios have been putting out their best offerings in the hopes of bagging an Academy Award.
One film that made waves at the ceremony when it first came out in 2010 is The King’s Speech. Not only did it bag 12 nominations, but it also earned Colin Firth his first, and to date only, win for Best Actor.
Firth stars as King George VI, while Geoffrey Rush is Lionel Logue, the Australian self-taught speech therapist who helps him overcome his stutter when he ascends the thrones following his brother’s (Guy Pearce) abdication. Helena Bonham Carter plays his wife and the late Queen Mother, Elizabeth.
If you’re looking for a break from all the Christmas films as you settle in front of the TV one of these cold evenings, this is a strong contender.
But how and where can you watch it? Read on to find out.
